"Black Earl" Francis Lovett, this name was not known to Fish-Man Island half a year ago, but as he first offered a reward of 55 million beli, the list of crimes included "cooperating with the Fish-Man Pirates to exploit Cocoa" "West Village Resident" made Fishman Island remember this name a little bit.
Because according to the prediction made by Mrs. Charlie, the famous fortune teller at the Mermaid Cafe, the evil dragon is dead and the murderer is the Black Earl.
Afterwards, when King Shichibukai returned to Fish-Man Island, "Sea Hero" Jinbe brought back the exact news that the evil dragon had indeed died at the hands of the Black Earl, and the charges they listed were basically consistent.
That was the first time Shark Star heard the name Black Earl.
The radicals in Fishman Street clamored wildly to avenge the evil dragon, but Jinbei's appearance finally made them give up the idea.
Then, they heard the words Black Earl for the second time. It was he who killed hundreds of thousands of Kingdom troops in Alabasta with one move and was invited by the government to become the Shichibukai.
That’s tens of thousands of living people!
Shark Xing suddenly felt his hands and feet feel cold.
The bastard from Fishman Street actually provoked such a vicious person?
Looking at Lovett who was looking at him indifferently without a trace of emotion, Shark Star's throat felt dry after he finished shouting and he didn't know what to say.
Now...it's really a big deal!
"Oh? Do you have any last words?"
Lovett spoke softly, and white light slowly accumulated in his palms.
Smelling the permeating murderous intent, Shark Star quickly said: "No, Lord Black Earl... this is a misunderstanding. Fish-Man Island has absolutely no intention of starting a war with you!"
No matter how subtle the relationship is, the World Government is standing behind the Shichibukai.
Starting a war with the Shichibukai would be a slap in the face of the World Government.
The fox pretends to be a tiger, but it is very practical.
Shark Star is not that stupid to start a war with a Shichibukai, and Shark Star is even less courageous to start a war with Black Earl.
So he quickly told what happened when he was chasing those fishmen, including why he had just ordered to surround the ship.
"You mean, this is a spontaneous act by a few radicals in Fishman Street and has nothing to do with the royal family of Fishman Island?"
"Yes, it is."
Shark Star's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look at that cold gaze.
"Then take me there!"
Looking at Shark Star's stunned expression, Lovett opened his mouth coldly: "Don't you think that just with your explanation, you can let me forget the blame?"
"Lead the way!"
"little Prince……"
Something big is going to happen!
Shark Star silently clenched his fists, but when he met Lovett's cold gaze, he knew he had no choice.
"clear!"
…
At the same time, Fishman Island and Dragon Palace City.
"Hody Jones...it's really this little devil who is causing trouble again!"
In front of the huge "Great Knight of the Sea" Neptune, a fat figure sat cross-legged on the ground. Hearing this, he punched the floor with his fist, looking angry.
"Yes, that is a man who grew up in hatred and anger."
Neptune sighed: "But I have already sent Shark Star and his people to stop it. With the speed of the Marine Cavalry, we should be able to do it in time."
"Brother Jinbei, if something unfortunate really happens, I hope you..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
In this regard, Jinbei did not hesitate: "The appearance of the three princes together is enough to express their attitude. If not, I will meet the Five Old Stars in person."
If Whitebeard's declaration of protecting Fishman Island curbed the pirates' covetousness, then Jinbei's becoming the Shichibukai curbed the prying eyes of other participating countries. It was a two-pronged approach that resulted in the peace he has now declared.
but……
His fists were clenched silently under his bathrobe, and Jinbei frowned.
No matter how peaceful it is on the surface, it still cannot change the problems within Fish-Man Island. The assassination of Princess Otohime by human pirates made the residents of Fish-Man Island generally disgusted with humans and became hostile to them.
Not just Fishman Street, but the whole place.
It's just that the latter is not as radical as the former, calling out the slogans of "race supremacy" and "making the fish people great again".
So even if this incident is solved perfectly, the same thing will definitely happen again if it is rooted in Fish-Man Island.
Thinking about the situation in the sea this year, Jinbei couldn't help but feel worried.
"The times are going to be in chaos!"
"Report... report!"
At this time, the blue-grey fishman guards rolled and crawled into the palace again.
Neptune and Jinbe turned their heads at the same time, feeling an unknown premonition in their hearts.
"Is it still too late?"
Jinbei thought silently.
But this is not the case... The blue-gray fishman guard put his fin-like palms on the ground, with fear in his eyes: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Prince Shark Star is back!"
"...with His Majesty the Black Count Shichibukai!"
"Nani?!"
The two stood up immediately and stared at each other in disbelief.
Could it be that... the human being that those bastards in Fishman Street are going to attack is the Black Earl?!!
This joke is not funny!!
…
Unfortunately, this is true.
"Leviathan, reveal your true form."
Standing on the deck of the Leviathan, a group of people passed through the double bubble outside Fishman Island, and then Lovett said softly.
"Chirp!!"
Before Shark Star and others could think about the meaning of this sentence, something hit from behind and their entire cavalry team was thrown away. Those sea creatures that were huge and ferocious to ordinary people were flying like catkins at this moment, and they were pulled out.
Falling down in arcs.
"Moo!!!"
Immediately, an earth-shaking roar resounded throughout the entire Fish-Man Island.
The thick front claws crushed the house, and the terrifying monster cast a shadow that blocked the sky and stood in the forest not far from the entrance.
Shark Star finally managed to control his mount, and when he turned around to look, he took a deep breath.
"The Abominable Battleship Levianson!"
This is a monster that is not even remotely "ship-like" except that its body is shaped like a ship and the cabin and mast are carried on its back.
The abdomen is supported by six slightly exaggerated and surprisingly long flesh and blood limbs, making it look like a fat wolf with six legs.
What made his hair stand on end was that outside the muscle layer that seemed to be peeled off, the hull was covered with skeletal faces that were densely packed and terrifying like scales. They looked left and right as if they were alive, and made noisy and harsh screams from their mouths.
The ship was as notorious as the Black Earl himself, and Sharkstar recognized it at a glance.
Wait, what's the evil reputation of Leviathan?
Shark Star suddenly woke up.
"Black Count!!"
Standing on the ground, Shark Star looked up at the huge and burly hull and shouted: "What do you mean?!"
The Black Count is feared by the world with his ability to kill hundreds of thousands of people with one hand, while the Levianson is frightening with its terrifying ability to devour flesh and blood.
In other words, this is a man-eating warship!
But Lovett ignored him and controlled Leviathan to pace and turn around, looking in the direction of Fishman Street.
The movement of such a huge monster turning around was unmistakable, and Shark Star was shaken to the point of losing his balance, but when he saw clearly the direction Leviathan was aiming at, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Wait a minute, His Excellency the Black Earl..."
Bang!!
A huge body like a Neptune stepped hard on the ground. In an instant, strong winds raged and gravel flew. Under the desperate gaze of Shark Star, the Leviathan jumped high, crossed half of the Fishman Island, and fell into the distance...
The area where Fishman Street belongs.
The overwhelming body cast black stripes, and the entire fish-man island residents saw the terrifying monster. In an instant, the fish-man island was in chaos, and countless people fled in panic.
Bang...!!!
The huge battleship landed on a street south of Fishman Street, and it didn't matter how many innocent people were trampled to death.
Lovett controlled the effect of the spell to transmit his voice. The voice was loud and deafening. Countless residents covered their ears and were shocked to death.
"I heard that it was you who sent people out to intercept me and seize my ship, right?"
Hearing this, Jinbei's pupils suddenly narrowed as he was rushing to Fishman Street.
